Our values: Relationships, collaboration and discretion.

Leadership decisions are critical to get right, yet are deeply personal for those involved. Because these decisions affect the performance and reputations of organizations and the careers of individuals, we handle our relationships with clients, candidates and colleagues with great care, offering advice with courage and candor and living our commitment to discretion each day.

We focus on developing and nurturing deep, long-term relationships with you and your organization — often spanning decades and the course of your career. As former business leaders, we’ve had direct experience with the challenges you encounter and can offer deep insights into your business.

We are a firm of equal partners with a common belief system of seamless collaboration and a spirit of generosity. We are built with a structure that supports partnership in the truest sense of the word and aligns our interests with yours.

We also know that we’re better together than alone. We collaborate in specialized teams to ensure that we bring the right industry, functional and geographic perspectives to bear on your assignment.

Our approach: Insight-driven, global and tailored.

The best leadership decisions come from having the right insight — about the trends shaping industries and critical functions; about the ability of executives to be successful in specific roles; about cultural fit and team effectiveness. We continually build our knowledge of the drivers of leadership success and enhance our assessment practices to provide that insight.

Because leadership doesn’t operate in a vacuum, we invest time in diagnosing the relevant strategic, organizational and business context as part of every assignment. We tailor our approach to the needs of your organization.

Our Team: By Leaders,  for the Leaders

Some of the most influential minds in the industry are on our team. We know leadership because we’re leaders.
